New to the forums - Hello!

Hello everyone.

Thanks for all of the useful information that I have had the pleasure of perusing through. I was told about this forum by my buddy Danno (not sure of his username on this site) after asking him a few questions regarding the info in my background (An optional read...obviously) which is listed below.

My background:

I have a pre 2008 Wii and I have been running 3.2 and homebrew for a few months now and just recently "up-graded" to 4.0. I got GH5 and Beatles Rock Band for Christmas and can't play them. I went and loaded the newest version of homebrew, bootmii as boot 2 and made a backup of my NAND (I only had 1 bad block!!) following the walk through on this site.

I am currently trying to work my way through priiloader and IOS60-patched.wad so i can go ahead and follow through with loading 4.1 or 4.2 and then hopefully play my new games!

I have found lots of useful info on this site and i am sure i will be able to find much more.

If your on the 3.1 - 4.1 System Menu then you may want to start HERE! [thanks Dogeggs]

If your on the 4.2 System Menu, then THIS! is where you want to be. [Please note, DO NOT update to 4.2 if you arn't already] [thanks messie]

Getting an error while trying to do something? The Answer is HERE! [thanks messie]

Wanna know what all this cIOS/IOS talk is all about....Then check THIS! thread out. [thanks Cressida]

Also take note that Nintendo has been putting some new drivechips in their systems that will disable playback of ANY burnt discs. To see if your Wii is one that has this new D3-2 chip refer toTHIS!page and cross reference your serial number. Please note that USB Loading is still functional even if you have this chip.

Want to find out a bit about USB loading, try THIS!link out [thanks gen3sf]

Any other questions/answers that were not covered, then please ask them HERE! [thanks ModderMan for the awesome site]

Please read, reAD, READ till your eyes bleed. Go over everything until your sure you can attempt these mods. You don't want a bricked Wii because of a step you might have missed.
